Detectives from the Northern Major and Organised Crime Squad (MOCS) have closed an operation targeting the suspected trafficking of illicit drugs.
Operation Papa Orthograde began in March this year and identified a number of people allegedly involved in a drug trafficking syndicate operating between Townsville and South East Queensland.
Over the past two days, officers from the Townsville Tactical Crime Squad, Northern MOCS and Brisbane’s Drug and Serious Crime Group finalised the operation, which saw 32 people charged with 151 drug-related offences.
Drugs with a street value in excess of $1million were seized and included Ice, MDMA, cocaine and cannabis.
During the investigation police also seized a quantity of cash and weapons.
All of those charged will appear in the Townsville Magistrates Court over the next month.
Detective Senior Sergeant Mick Walker of the Northern Major and Organised Crime Squad said officers will continue to target those engaging in criminal activity in Queensland.
